We had a rough day on the water with some very choppy conditions, but Captain Mike was absolutely phenomenal. He did an incredible job keeping the boat as stable as possible so we could actually fish, and his experience really showed in making sure we all made it home safe and sound.
Despite the crazy weather, Captain Mike still managed to put us right on the fish. We walked away with a great catch of red snappers and groupers! If you want a skilled, safety-conscious captain who can produce results even when the weather isn’t cooperating, Captain Mike is your guy. Highly recommend!

Captain Mike and his first mate were great and did everything to ensure we were on top of fish the entire 4hr morning trip.  1 Mahi and a bunch of snapper filleted and bagged to take with us afterwards.  Captain hooked a large shark that he passed on to us to battle with until we broke the line.  We had 1 youngster that probably couldn’t go for 8 hours, but I’d definitely go for 8hrs if it was just adults/teens.  Will be booking with these guys if/when we get back to Destin.  Thanks for a great time!!!

We had an amazing deep sea fishing trip in Destin! The crew was professional, friendly, and worked hard the entire trip to make sure everyone had a great experience. They put us on fish quickly and were always there to help with baiting hooks, untangling lines, and landing fish. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable for the whole day on the water.

What really stood out was how knowledgeable the captain and crew were. They knew exactly where to go and kept us catching fish throughout the trip. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time deep sea fishing, they make the experience fun and enjoyable for everyone.

We caught plenty of fish, made great memories, and had an absolute blast. I highly recommend this charter to anyone visiting Destin. We’ll definitely be back for another trip!

Captain Mike and his boat the Hiliner were awesome! We had a crew of five people, one teenager and two younger kids and wanted to get out on the water and do some fishing. It was a red flag week down in the gulf and conditions weren’t the most favorable but Captain Mike got us out and put us on fish from the first stop! It was such an awesome experience for the kids! Captain Mike, you can tell has been doing this for sometime and is very experienced as a boat captain and understands the fish and conditions of the gulf very well. He got us on fish and kept us on fish the entire trip. Highly recommend him. If he’s got an opening… Book em! Well worth it!
FYI, the fish hanging on display are obviously just the ones we kept. We probably caught three times that which we tossed back, they were either just not what we were fishing for or not in season to catch… You’re gonna be busy! Lastly, the restaurant right behind Captain Mike’s boat slip per his recommendation did a hook and cook… where you bring your catch in and they do it up for you… Extremely reasonable..highly recommend.. it was phenomenal!
Thanks again Capt!!

Was a bad week for fishing all week long as the weather did not cooperate. Went out on our last day and Captain Mike put us on fish and even let my little one reel in a shark. We’re definitely going back on our next trip. First mate did a fantastic job and brought a lot of energy. He did really well with my daughter who wasn’t having it at the moment.
